Splinterlands art contest | Tarsa
Greetings people, today for my entry in the @Splinterlands art contest I wanted to make Tarsa, a card that I like very much, since September last year I haven't drawn her, so today I decided to make a new version of Tarsa, the last time I made a portrait and this time I chose to make half body.
I wanted to represent her with a face without expression, just looking ahead with her bright eyes, I thought of making the hair with many waves, loose and a very exaggerated movement on the left side, giving it an upward movement, and small flames coming out of the hair, I respected the original costume because I really love it, I used very warm colors since this card has fire, it was a pretty cool job to do, I hope you like it.

Proceso/Process
I made the sketch with the idea I wanted on this occasion, I began to paint using skin tones that go to the range of oranges, I applied a new layer where I added more colors to completely shape the face, in a new layer I mixed all these colors to have a soft and smooth skin, I began to paint the clothes, for the shirt, I used a greenish gray tone and dark green for the other garment.
I took dark and light colors of each tone to start applying the shadows and lights on the clothes, creating folds that would give volume and realism, I also painted the checkered pattern that Tarsa's clothes have, for the hair, I used a medium dark red color, with a difuse brush I started painting the rest of the hair, giving it shadows and lights to create the movement I wanted, this time I didn't use the brush that has the hair texture, I did everything with the difuse brush and it really looks prettier like this, I started to paint a dark background and added the fire flames, both below and some coming out of the hair.
I started to give the last details, checking the face and the rest to make sure I didn't forget something, I felt that the background was not completely merged with my character, I added some orange lights in the part where the fire is present and I felt that this way everything was better merged, I also added some light details to the face, hair and clothes, finally I did a slight image editing adjusting a little the colors and that everything was more to my liking.
